While I appreciate a well executed offensive play as much as the next fan, I love watching hard hits by the defense the most.
Best hit I've ever seen was from Toby Wright.
Playing the Saints I believe. A player kneeled down on a kick off return. The problem was that the saints return man downed the ball on the field, not the end zone. Wright slowed at first, then realized the poor guy was in bounds and quickly put his pads down, went straight at him and leveled him.
Never seen anything like it before or since.
I had Phys Ed class with T.Wright in high school. Damn injuries did him in. He was a beast.Best hit I've ever seen was from Toby Wright.

Was that the same game we failed to cover up the kickoff in the endzone and the opposing team came down and grabbed it for a TD?
That must have been an exciting one to watch in person. It was close until the very end!I was at this game! My first ever professional football game!
